First shown on US TV during the fall finale of Gotham, this is the first fresh footage from the film since San Diego Comic-Con in July. At Comic-Con, Dawn of Justice producer Charles Roven promised that fans would get a further glimpse of the film “before the end of the year”, and this clip - showing Superman unmasking a Batman seemingly held captive by Kal-El worshippers - is a precursor to the full trailer due to be shown during Jimmy Kimmel's show on December 2.
